Democratic Reform Meeting In Balti,
more.


A large meeting of Maryland Democrats
who are in favor Of reform in the present
party management was held in Baltimore,
Wednesday night. An unusually large num-
Der of farmers were at the meeting, the
Farmers Convention being in session in
Baltimore at the same time. Mr.. James u.
Dennis, of Somerset county, was elected
President and one Vice President from each
county. The Vice President from Hartford
being John Moores and the Secretary W.
Smithson Forwood.
Able speeches were made by James U.
Dennis, John X. Cowen and ex Governor
Hamilton. An address to the Democratic
voters of Maryland was adopted, which says:
"The rule of bossism in Maryland has been
reduced to system, and has become humiliat-
ing, corrupting and demoralizing. A few men
assume to themselves the titles Of leaders. They
demand allegiance TO themselves. They make
and unmake candidates ct their pleasure. Sub
seryiency is rewarded with Office, and crime
with appointment. Under such q system the
youth and talent of the State cannot aspire to
an honorable position in the public service
without first becoming subservient to some
boss. There are many other evils and abuses
which need correction ana reformation. 1t Is
impossible TO go into minute details In a short
address, but upon the stump, and before nomi-
nations for offices are made, the people of the
State will have ample opportunity to hear them
discussed.
"In conclusion we deem 1t proper to say that
this is no movement against the Democratic
party but an effort to restore 1t to its original
purity aud simplicity, to lop of and cnt out the
caucerous excrescences which are poisoning its
flfe's blood. Nor is 1t intended to even reor-
ganize the party outside Of Baltimore city. We
propose to contend within the Democratic
party for pure methods, for the nomination of
proper, honest and competent candidates, for
the enactment of effective laws to secure fair
elections, and to punish lobbying and dealing In
legislation as crime, for lower taxation and the
correction of all abuses which stand in the way
of honest, simple and pure government. 1t is
our purpose TO inform the people, to appeal to
their intelligence, their virtue and their patriot
ism, and our appeal will not be in yain"

THE DEER CREEK AND susQUEHANNA RAIL
RoAD.-A meeting of the incorporators of the
Deer Creek and susquehanna Railroad was held
on Tuesday at the office of Col Herman stump,
In Bel Air. The incorporators present were
Messrs. Johns II. Janney, D. c. Wharton Smith,
Geo. E. Silver, W. Beatty Harlan, Col. Herman
Stump, 8. A. Williams and g. b Silver, Jr.,
together with DR.. David Harlan, J. G. Smith,
B. Gilpin Smith, Edward s. Edge, JAS. b. Ken
ly, j. Thos c. Hopkins, j. W. Knight and
others
Mr.. Johns II. Janney presided and Mr.. W.
Beatty Harlan served as Secretary pro tenn
Mr.. Harlan reported that the committee prevl-
ously appointed had contracted with Mr.. E. c.
Price 20 canvass for subscriptions to stock and
for rights-of'way, at a salary of $125 month.
Mr.. S. A. Williams reported that with other
members of a committee he had waited upon
Mr.. DuBarry, Vice President of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad, who manifested an interest in
the road and advised the committee to ascer-
tain what subscriptions could be raised and
rights-of.way secured, and meanwhile to en-.
deavor to find the most feasible route.
Mr. Geo. E. Silver said that on Monday an
examination of route was made by Mr.. Samuel
Rea, an engineer of the Pennsylvania Railroad,
who was accompanied by Mcssrs Janney, Har-
Ian, j. c. Smith and himself. This route start
cd At tie Paper Mills and ran by way of Mas.
sey's Summit aud Edges Canning House to
Deaths Ford on Deer Creek thence following
Inc creek TO Tobacco ruu, and the latter stream
to Churchvlle From Churchvile Mr.. W.
Beatty Harlan accompanied Mr.. Rea The
route further examined, Mr. Harlan stated, was
from ChurchviIlc to point u miles above
Perry mans, by way of Church run. The grade
from the Paper Mills to Priesthood was heavy
but no insuperable obstacle was encountered
From Churchyle to Perrymans the fall was
gradual.
Mr.. ID. {. w. Smith said that the Susquehauua
Paper Company, in which he is interested, re-
ceive ID tons of freight day, and send off 10 or
II tons. The heavy grade down to the mills
would therefore not be of so much disadvantage
as in some other cases.
Mr.. Geo. E. Silver said another route WAS
from near Aberdeen, by way of Swan Creek,
Mill Brook and Deer Creek 10 the Paper Mills;
also branch by way of Deer Creek and Thomas
Run to Bel Air. He thought the several routes

way.
Messrs. Janney, Is. Glpln Smith and W.
Beatty Harlan were appointed committee TO
aid Mr.. Price in his work and the latter was in
structed to begin the work of canvassing at the
Paper Mills.

Characteristic was strong manliness. In
every relation With his felow.men his direct
ness of purpose always asserted itself. His
words and actions, and as far as these indicated,
his very thoughts were direct, straightforward
and to the purpose of the matter in hand. De-
ception in the remotest degree was utterly for
eign to his nature. Therefore it was that every
friend he had was attached to him by the
strongest ties. Self.possesson and selfcontrol
were also attributes largely possessed By sher-
i'll CarmRn, and he was of kind, humane dis
position and charitable to the poor. One who
knew him long and intimately remarked that
in all his intercourse with him, even during
times of political excitement, he never heard
him utter bitter or unknd word towards an
opponent.
He was member of Mount Ararat Masonic
Lodge, OF Bel Air, and will be buried, with ma
sonic honors, in the family burying ground ad-
joining Fork Meeting House, Baltimore coun-
ty, on Sunday morning. The members of other
masonic lodges in the county are invited 10 at
tend the funeral, which will leave the house at

A HARTFORD SILO.-Mr Is. +. DarbiG, OF Cler-
mont Mills Dairy is feeding his cows upon en-
slage. His slo, which was built last summer,
is 90 feet long, 10 feet wide and IL feet deep
IL is merely hole dug in the ground, on the
slope of hill alongside of his barn. The frame
work is of chestnut timbers, hewed on one side
and placed four feet apart To these chestnut
boards, one inch thick, are nailed closely to-
gether The space behind the boards is filled
with saw dust, tightly rammed The ensiage
consists of corn fodder, the corn being planted
with wheat drill, three sprouts Of which were
allowed to run, bone dust being planted with
the grain. The corn should be allowed to stand
eight to ten grains to foot The rows are of
coursG worked one way. 1t required The fud
der from four acres to fill the slO. The stalks
were cut down while green, about the 2Sth of
August, and cut into half inch lengths, by
Belle City fodder cutter with two-horse pow
er, and emptied into the silo As the cut fod-
der was emptled in two men tramped it as close
ly as possible. Six days were consumed in fill
ing it, experience having shown that the ensi-
lage will keep better when packed slowly
When the silo was full boards were laid on top,
the Joints being broken by other boards. On
top OF all stones ABOUT one loot lnck were plleu.
The top boards were cut about one inch shorter
than the inside of the sio to allow them to ses
tie under the weight of stone. The ensilagc
sank about two and a.half feet. 1t was first
opened on the fourth Of November and the en-
siage found to be perfectly fresh and sweet
1t is much relshed by cows and other stock
Each cow is fed about bushel day Mr..
Darbie is confident the ensiage greatly in
creases the flow and richness of milk and says
his cows never looked as well at this sesson of
the year. He regards it as q complete success.
The silo cost about $50 or $50, but a tool house,
built above it, increased the cost. The ensi-
lage is dug out of a door near the bottom, so
that the top is not disturbed. Mr.. Darbie is
milking about 26 cows and supplies his dairy,
corner of Oak and Fourth streets, Baltimore,
with pure milk, in sealed bottles.

SLEIGHING CARNIvAL.-The sleighing carni-
nal III Delta, on Thursday of last week, was we'll
attended. The procession, led by the Delta
Cornet Band, contained some handsome teams
and several very ludicrous ones. The first prize
for the most fantastic turnout was fine lap
robe, and was awarded to Mr.. Morgan White
ford. The second prize, whip, was won by
Jacob Armstead. Mr.. Whiteford's team consist
ed OF a sorry-lookiDg mule, bandaged in imita-
ton OF fast trotter, attached to q sleigh which
is supposed to have been used by the early in
haoitants of this country. The. inhabi-
tant said he never saw one like it before These
teams both attracted attention and caused
much laughter. Mr.. Morgan Whiteford is en-
titled to the credit of arranging and carrying
out the affair SO successfully.
